This October, 3rd 2023, was a national holiday. This national holiday is National Fruit at Work Day. In 2000, The FruitGuys developed this great idea called National Fruit at Work Day. They wanted to create a special day where we could all appreciate the nutritional of healthy snacking at work and give a shoutout to the food that keeps us going. This day was made to encourage people to cut down on their coffee and junk food consumption and embrace a healthier work lifestyle. “This sounds like a good holiday to have around, I wish I heard about it sooner.” Gracie Stein said. This holiday has been around for around 21 years now. Ways you can participate in this holiday is to dress up as your favorite fruit, or campaign for healthy snacking at work. This is a great holiday to celebrate as a Brahman because here at Okeechobee High School, we provide and ensure our students get fruit every day with their lunch.
